Tony’s shortlist
Fat Tony’s AI picks
3. Could Be Katy
Fresh, proven on the Methven grass and drawn to boss it, pal—top chance.
12. Share A Dream
Blair Orange aboard and handy grass form; the 10m mark is the sting, but class keeps him in.
11. Miki's Courage
Racing in stronger company and Ricky May knows the drill—solid each-way mob.
6. Okiwi Bay
Honest recent third and Tim Williams is no mug; grass is the query, but she can grab a cheque.
5. Choco Lou
Broke early then charged home last start—if he trots off clean, he’s value for the first five.

Race context
Race preview
SHARE A DREAM (12) drew a wide gate last start and was safely held, beaten 16 metres into tenth at Ashburton Raceway over 1700m. This doesn't look as hard so from a far better starting position he is in the right race to score. COULD BE KATY (3) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 2050m at Phar Lap Raceway. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Will have plenty of admirers. RAKERO MAXIMUS (13) disappointed last time when tenth over 1980m at Addington. Can turn things around. MIKI'S COURAGE (11) is better than his last-start eighth over 2600m at Addington. Include in combinations. Something for the Multiples: ULTIMATUM (4)
